Im seriously considering switching to this phone.

Unboxing videos are the nadir of nerdish development.

So, it’s a really basic carrier phone that is expensive. Hopefully, no one tries to send you a text. The little book on the back with “messages” and “games” is funny, but it’s so small I’d hate putting my addresses in there. My handwriting is big, people. There are far nicer address books out there, with nice labels that let you skip quickly across the alphabet, and they’ve been around forever. This is just an expensive, possibly nice-looking joke.

I bought this for my grandma but she got confused and put it in the toaster.

It’s a designed object, why is everyone so mad? It’s a designed phone for design geeks, many of whom have the scratch to buy such frivolities. It’s for people who use words like “resolved” to describe a fucking table. Really no different from comic nerds with immaculately sculpted $300 Red Skull figures on their mantles (except, you know, this actually does something).

that’s not a phone, that’s the remote for my tempurpedic adjustable bed.

This is dumb. I appreciate the need for simplicity so here’s what I do: I get the simplest phone they give for free, then I don’t get a text plan, no internet access plan, etc.
My phone turns out to be smaller, better and simpler, than this, not to mention much cheaper.
…then again, I’m not a hipster, so your mileage may vary.

Ahhahaha back up phone for the iPod. So you’re still using the phone that takes pictures, can have video chat, has internet access, apps, etc, but ooooh gotta be all awesome and have this nonconformist phone on the side, JUST IN CASE someone isn’t impressed by the iPhone.

This is stupid.

fuck! 89 euros that’s like almost $100 U.S. I thought things from Ikea was supposed to be cheap.

… phones are for talking.

Well, decry it all you like—that’s what I’m looking for in a cell phone—nothing but calling. If I need a Zagat’s while strolling around, then there’s something wrong with me, not my phone.

I have to admit, although I have iPhone envy, I love my little candy-bar phone. I can text, talk and play Tetris. I swear it’s all I need. I’ve only had two cars in my life: an 86 Volvo wagon and a 00 Subaru. When I had to give up the Volvo, I cried. But, the Sube has bells and whistles and it runs. Although, I still long for the simplicity and smell of the Volvo.  Just trying to create a comparison there…

I like how now we have people trying to simplify innovations and move backwards in a sense.
“Oh I hate it so much that I can use my GPS on my phone to get where I need to go and I hate when I know who is calling me! I love carrying around a phone, address book, clock, map, calculator, flashlight, computer, games, etc needlessly when I have it all already in my phone!” I mean if this design was really meant to be simple, it would have batteries and no sim card. I mean REALLY come on!

So… now its an overpriced novelty to have a phone… that’s primary function is… a phone? What a world. LOL.

What’s the point?

That thing sucks! USA! USA! USA!

This phone is gonna be a sellout amount hipsters! Am I right or what!!!
